Currently, market sentiment is relatively weak, with the Fear & Greed index hovering around 30-35. Retail investors and institutions are both reducing their positions. In terms of capital flow, the large net outflow on January 7 was particularly obvious, with BTC contracts losing 933 million in 24 hours, indicated by a large red bar. There are many reasons behind this—tax losses accumulated in Q4, year-end account adjustments, and leveraged liquidations, all stacking up together.

On-chain data does not show signs of panic selling; long-term holders (LTH) remain steady, and whales are quietly accumulating. However, short-term pressure is significant, with frequent large transfers, slight ETF outflows, and combined with Federal Reserve remarks and escalating geopolitical tensions, market risk appetite has noticeably declined. The most painful part is that there are no new positive news to absorb the selling; the market is simply falling without any particular reason.

Whales are eating up the chips, while retail investors are stepping on each other. This is the market. --- No good news, just falling further. This feeling is really despairing. --- The tax loss in Q4 is still biting, no wonder it's so miserable. --- As long as LTH stays steady, I’ll be relieved, indicating the bottom hasn't arrived yet. --- 1.33 billion outflow in one day? Oh my, probably all leveraged liquidations. --- Whenever the Federal Reserve opens its mouth, the market trembles—really mind-blowing. --- Whales are stockpiling while we are dumping, how can the gap be so big? --- No new stories, no new good news, just pure emotional killing, it's tough. --- Short-term pressure is indeed unbearable, but everyone, don’t cut your losses. --- Is ETF still experiencing small outflows? Institutions are also not optimistic about the near future.

Damn it, it's the same old story again—whales eating the meat and retail investors drinking the soup.

Hey, while the whales are eating up, we're still cutting meat. That's the gap.

Oh my, is this the legendary "drop whenever there's nothing going on"? Truly impressive

Oh no, this is a typical "no one is saving the market" situation, and this is the most feared kind. Whales are eating up the chips, while retail investors are still anxious. The overall pattern is way off. Contract outflow of 933 million... looks pretty scary, but on-chain LTHs are steady as ever, indicating it's not true panic. Any good news? None. They just keep smashing it down, and that's the most painful part. The Federal Reserve really knows how to pick the timing. Right now, they start to stir, and combined with geopolitical tensions, it’s a perfect storm to dump the market. It looks tough in the short term, but I think this might actually be an opportunity to get in. Don’t be fooled by the Fear Index being only around 30; when real fear hits, 933 million will just be the appetizer.

9.33 billion disappeared in a day, now it's finally happening—the real show is about to begin. --- Whales are eating the bottom, we're cutting our losses, same old routine. --- No good news, so it keeps falling. This is the market behavior I hate the most—feeling like there's no salvation. --- LTH is still steady, which means they've seen through it long ago, while us retail investors are still messing around. --- The Fed opens its mouth and the market trembles—truly incredible. --- When I see a large red candlestick, I know it's time to start cutting the leeks again. --- The phrase "It's okay" when the market drops really hit me. --- Long-term holders are bottom-fishing, while I’m cutting my losses in the short term—fate, huh. --- If the leverage gets liquidated, so be it. It’s about time to clear out these fire starters. --- Whales are quietly accumulating? Should we also start bottom-fishing?
